A gorgeous little vintage French trinket box made from a real clam shell, hinged open with a slim brass mount and clasp that holds the two halves together perfectly. The exterior i s all natural shell — smooth, domed, and blushed with the most beautiful gradation of cream, blush pink, and mauve that no dye could replicate — while the interior reveals the shell's luminous nacreous lining in soft pearlescent tones. Set it on a vanity, a dressing table, or a bathroom shelf to hold rings, a single earring, or whatever small thing deserves a beautiful home by the sea. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 9cm x 8cm x 5cm Show more
